<p>How to play:</p>
<p>Reversi, also known as Othello is a popular board game that is easy to learn,
but hard to master.</p>
<p>Basic play in Reversi is between two players using chips that have different
colors, normally black and white, on each side. </p>
<p>The object of the game is to have more chips showing your color than your
opponent's at the end of the game.</p>
<p>To do this you have to trap your opponents chips between two of your chips as
you place them on the board.</p>
<p>All trapped chips get flipped to the other color.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is an example starting board.&nbsp; </p>
<p><img border="0" src="files/board1.jpg" width="400" height="400"></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The black player moves first and decides to trap the top left white chip by
placing a chip above it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img border="0" src="files/board2.jpg" width="400" height="400"></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Doing so causes the white chip to flip resulting in the above board</p>
<p>Now the white player decides to place a chip to the left of the top-most
black chip.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img border="0" src="files/board3.jpg" width="400" height="400"></p>
<p>That leads to the board looking like this.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Play continues until all the chips are flipped to one color, or both players
run out of viable moves.</p>
<p>Though simple in design, Reversi has a lot of strategy involved and trying to
trap the most chips each turn, is not always the best route.</p>
